Excerpt from Life, Letters, and Works of Louis Agassiz, Vol. 1 In the thought of many, a man of genius ought to be perfect; and consequently when errors, mistakes, and faults appear, it is difficult to accept them and bear them with equanimity and indulgence. But we must be generous, and make a fair allowance for human weakness, even in a man of genius, and especially in a man of genius.

Excerpt from Life, Letters, and Works of Louis Agassiz, Vol. 2 Agassiz was in complete ignorance of what had become of Burkhardt Since he left the glacier Of the Aar and Neuchatel in 1843. But Burkhardt, learning through the newspapers that Agassiz was delivering a course of lectures, gladly called on him and told his pathetic history, his attitude and appearance amply proving that life in the streets Of New York under such conditions was a difficult one to endure. Agassiz, always Open-handed and generous, received his old artist with great kindness, and offered him a home, on the single condition that he Should draw his zoological Specimens. The unfortunate artist was only too ready to accept any Offer, or, more correctly, any arrangement, which prom ised a living; and with that lack Of Specific agreement which always characterized Agassiz's connection with his assistants, he resumed his position as draughtsman, and was brought by Agassiz to East Boston, on his return from New York, at the end of November, 1847. This hap-hazard association lasted until the death Of Burkhardt, and is the only one, of all those formed in the same way, during the life Of Agassiz, which remained undisturbed.

“This book is not just about a man of science but also about a scientific culture in the making—warts and all.” —The New York Times Book Review Charismatic and controversial Swiss immigrant Louis Agassiz took America by storm in the early nineteenth century, becoming a defining force in American science. Yet today, many don’t know the complex story behind this revolutionary figure. At a young age, Agassiz—zoologist, glaciologist, and paleontologist—was invited to deliver a series of lectures in Boston, and he never left. An obsessive pioneer in field research, Agassiz enlisted the American public in a vast campaign to send him natural specimens, dead or alive, for his ingeniously conceived museum of comparative zoology. As an educator of enduring impact, he trained a generation of American scientists and science teachers, men and women alike—and entered into collaboration with his brilliant wife, Elizabeth, a science writer in her own right and first president of Radcliffe College. But there was a dark side to his reputation as well. Biographer Christoph Irmscher reveals unflinching evidence of Agassiz’s racist impulses and shows how avidly Americans at the time looked to men of science to mediate race policy. He also explores Agassiz’s stubborn resistance to evolution, his battles with a student—renowned naturalist Henry James Clark—and how he became a source of endless bemusement for Charles Darwin and esteemed botanist Asa Gray. “A wonderful . . . biography,” both inspiring and cautionary, it is for anyone interested in the history of American ideas (The Christian Science Monitor). “A model of what a talented and erudite literary scholar can do with a scientific subject.” —Los Angeles Review of Books
